2021 Ford Explorer Oil Capacity

The 2021 Ford Explorer’s oil capacity depends on its engine: the 2.3L EcoBoost takes 5.2 qt, while the 3.0L EcoBoost and Duratec 33 each take 6.0 qt. These figures are listed with the specified oil viscosity, so check both the engine and the oil grade rather than relying on capacity alone.

For the 2.3L EcoBoost, the listed oil is 5W-30; the 3.0L EcoBoost also uses 5W-30. The Duratec 33 uses 5W-20. The shared 6.0 qt capacity for the latter two engines does not mean they use the same oil grade.

These figures apply to the engines listed for this model year; capacity and viscosity can vary by year or engine. If your engine or trim is not listed, or you need to verify the amount for your vehicle, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.
